Just how hard is it to connect a Bluetooth device, do some simple HTML coding, or set up a router at home? Maybe a bit harder than you'd think. Hire A Helper LLC surveyed nearly 1,000 Americans of various ages to try to find out (in addition to tech, the company also asked about financial skills, as you can see in the chart).
Bluetooth doesn't seem to be too tough for most of us; 82 percent of respondents said they had accomplished connecting Bluetooth devices. But age plays a role: HireAHelper said one-third of baby boomers they surveyed had never done it.
As for setting up a router, 70.7 percent of responders have managed this on their own. But the most challenging of the three tasks turned out to be HTML coding. Just 35.5 percent had skills in this area—and sadly, men were nearly twice as likely to know basic HTML.
